Conferences

Annual meetings, alternating between the United States and Europe, provide a venue for expert speakers to cover topics including: new therapeutic opportunities and drug delivery technologies, novel in vitro, in vivo and clinical testing methods, and regulatory science. Extensive networking opportunities in relaxed surroundings are a hallmark of RDD meetings which attract opinion leaders and delegates from all over the world. Scientific Poster Sessions and a concurrent Technology Exhibition allow academics, senior industrial scientists, business professionals, and regulators to exchange views with representatives from branded and generic companies, CROs and allied equipment, ingredient and service suppliers – many of whom consider RDD their most important show of the year. Posters on the Podium showcases the most innovative presentations during a special session on the conference floor, while European meetings feature interactive Workshop Sessions. At US meetings the Charles G. Thiel Award is presented to a scientist who has pioneered significant developments in pulmonary drug delivery.

RDD frequently coordinates meetings and sessions with special interest groups such as the Inhalation and Nasal Technology Focus Group of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, the International Society for Aerosol in Medicine, and the Product Quality Research Institute in an attempt to maximize delegate participation in important issues.
